Use the general solution to solve 5 – 6x = 8х + 17.

GaryK [48]

Answer:

-6/7

Step-by-step explanation:

5 – 6x = 8x + 17

<=> 5 - 17 = 8x + 6x

<=> -12 = 14x

<=> x = -6/7

HELP ITS ABOUT POINTS AND EQUATIONS AND WHAT THE PERSON FAILED IN DOING EXPLANATION NEEDED PLEASE

katen-ka-za [31]

Answer:

see below

Step-by-step explanation:

First find the slope

m= ( y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

= (-5- -7.5)/ ( 2 - -3)

= (-5+7.5) / ( 2+3)

= 2.5 /5

=1/2

Then using the slope intercept equation of a line

y = mx+b where m is the slope and b is the y intercept

y = 1/2x+b

Using a point from above

-5 = 1/2(2) +b

-5 =1+b

Subtract 1 from each side

-6 = b

We have the y intercept

y = 1/2x-6

Tahlia forget to find the y intercept for the equation

Prove it. this question is from trigonometry

konstantin123 [22]

Answer:

See below for step-by-step proof.

Step-by-step explanation:

$\textsf{Given expression}:$

$\cos^6 \theta+\sin^6 \theta$

$\textsf{Apply exponent rule} \quad a^{bc}=(a^b)^c:$

$\implies (\cos^2 \theta)^3+(\sin^2 \theta)^3$

$\textsf{Use the identity}\quad a^3+b^3=(a+b)^3-3ab(a+b):$

$\implies (\cos^2 \theta+\sin^2 \theta)^3-3 \cos^2 \theta\sin^2 \theta (\cos^2 \theta+\sin^2 \theta)$

$\textsf{Use the identity}\quad \sin^2 \theta + \cos^2 \theta=1:$

$\implies (1)^3-3 \cos^2 \theta\sin^2 \theta (1)$

$\implies 1-3 \cos^2 \theta\sin^2 \theta$

$\implies 1-3 (\cos \theta\sin \theta)^2$

$\textsf{Use the identity}\quad \sin 2 \theta=2 \sin \theta \cos \theta \implies \dfrac{1}{2}\sin 2 \theta= \sin \theta \cos \theta:$

$\implies 1-3 \left( \dfrac{1}{2}\sin 2 \theta\right)^2$

$\implies 1-\dfrac{3}{4} \sin^2 2 \theta$

$\textsf{Use the identity}\quad \sin^2 2\theta + \cos^2 2\theta=1 \implies \sin^2 2\theta=1-\cos^2 2\theta$

$\implies 1-\dfrac{3}{4} \left(1-\cos^2 2 \theta\right)$

$\implies 1-\dfrac{3}{4} +\dfrac{3}{4}\cos^2 2 \theta$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{4} +\dfrac{3}{4}\cos^2 2 \theta$

$\textsf{Factor out }\dfrac{1}{4}:$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{4}\left(1+3\cos^2 2 \theta\right)$

$\textsf{Use the identity}\quad \cos (4 \theta)=2 \cos^2 2\theta - 1 \implies \cos^2 2 \theta=\dfrac{1}{2}\cos 4 \theta+\dfrac{1}{2}:$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{4}\left(1+3\left(\dfrac{1}{2}\cos 4 \theta+\dfrac{1}{2}\right)\right)$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{4}\left(1+\dfrac{3}{2}\cos 4 \theta+\dfrac{3}{2}\right)$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{4}\left(\dfrac{5}{2}+\dfrac{3}{2}\cos 4 \theta\right)$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{4} \cdot \dfrac{1}{2}\left(5+3\cos 4 \theta\right)$

$\implies \dfrac{1}{8}\left(5+3\cos 4 \theta\right)$

How do you do 111? Explanation pls

IceJOKER [234]

Answer:

B. 2 3/5

Step-by-step explanation:

how i would solve this expression is start out by converting "4 1/3" into an improper fraction.

4 1/3 is equivalent to 13/3

next to find out how much water melissa used we have to multiply 3/5 by our improper fraction giving us this expression:

13/3 x 3/5

solving a fraction is simple, multiply the numerator by numerator,

and denominator by denominator.

so, we will end up with

39/15 or simplified to 2 3/5

hope this helps :D
